0:02
Speaker 1: Variety, big ninety eight point seven, it's Gabe, it's and
0:05
Speaker 1: you begin a little sun to start the day, we
0:06
Speaker 1: might see some clouds kind of work their way on
0:08
Speaker 1: out throughout the day, however, and by the afternoon probably cloudy.
0:12
Speaker 2: And we do have a high of seventy two today.
0:15
Speaker 1: I know someone who coaches a you eight so eight
0:21
Speaker 1: and under Little league baseball team, right, and it's pretty
0:24
Speaker 1: low key. However, they do have an All Star game
0:27
Speaker 1: coming up. And the way it works is each team
0:30
Speaker 1: could send two players in the league. Okay, one rule
0:34
Speaker 1: is the kid has to be available for All Star weekend.
0:38
Speaker 2: If they're going to be out of town, they got
0:40
Speaker 2: to pick another kid.
0:42
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because they have to play the gig.
0:45
Speaker 2: Exactly Weird how that works.
0:47
Speaker 1: Well, one of the kid's parents told him that they'd
0:51
Speaker 1: be out of town, so this individual called the parents
0:54
Speaker 1: of the next kid. Well, that is where the story
0:58
Speaker 1: takes a little bit of a turn here. The original
1:01
Speaker 1: kid's parents call back and said there was a change
1:04
Speaker 1: in plans and they would be able to make it.
1:07
Speaker 1: Uh So, what should this person do and what did
1:12
Speaker 1: he do? Does he stay with the second kid or
1:15
Speaker 1: did he call their parents back and go with the
1:17
Speaker 1: first kid.
1:18
Speaker 2: What would you do in this situation?
1:22
Speaker 3: I would I feel bad, Now you gotta go with
1:27
Speaker 3: the second kid, like you already moved on the other
1:31
Speaker 3: second kid already confirmed that. Yes, well yeah, of course, okay,
1:35
Speaker 3: Well then yes, sorry, you snooze, you lose.
1:38
Speaker 2: What's that old saying? No take baxis?
1:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, no take backs? Sorry?
1:43
Speaker 3: Sorry, but you know what, that kid who doesn't get
1:46
Speaker 3: to play, your parents owe you. You've got leverage, So
1:51
Speaker 3: think of something else you want.
1:53
Speaker 4: Besides to play the game. Yeah, that's that's what I
1:57
Speaker 4: would do. What did this coach do?
1:58
Speaker 1: Well, you can find out exactly what happened coming up
2:01
Speaker 1: after Ella Langley. Who's next here on Big ninety eight
2:03
Speaker 1: point seven. I know someone who is a coach and
2:11
Speaker 1: it's not a very serious league, but he's a coach
2:13
Speaker 1: of a U eight little league baseball team and it's
2:16
Speaker 1: pretty low key, but they do have an all Star
2:19
Speaker 1: weekend coming up, and each team gets to send two
2:23
Speaker 1: players in this league, and one rule is the kid
2:26
Speaker 1: would have to be have to be available to play
2:29
Speaker 1: in the game. I think that should go without saying right, yes, now,
2:33
Speaker 1: if they're going to be out of town, they got
2:35
Speaker 1: to pick the next kid.
2:36
Speaker 2: That's just how it works.
2:37
Speaker 1: Well, one kid's parents told him that their kid would
2:41
Speaker 1: be out of town, so this person called the next
2:43
Speaker 1: kid's parents.
2:45
Speaker 2: Well, lo and behold.
2:46
Speaker 1: A few hours go by and the original parents call
2:49
Speaker 1: back and say, oh, change of plans, we will be
2:51
Speaker 1: in town. So what should this person that I know do?
2:56
Speaker 1: Does he stay with the second kid or does he
2:58
Speaker 1: have to call them back and be like, hey, the
3:00
Speaker 1: first kid can play, we gotta go with him. He
3:02
Speaker 1: was the first choice. What do you do in this situation?
3:05
Speaker 3: I think you just go with the second kid, like, oh,
3:08
Speaker 3: we already kept it pushing.
3:10
Speaker 4: I don't know what to tell you.
3:11
Speaker 3: I'm not at your beck and call parents and just
3:14
Speaker 3: maybe move your thing back like you were gonna be
3:18
Speaker 3: out of town.
3:19
Speaker 2: Just be out of town. Yeah, I'm kind of with you.
3:21
Speaker 2: I feel like I would do the same.
3:22
Speaker 1: Yes, I can't now call back this kid who wasn't
3:25
Speaker 1: expected to play in this All Star game and then
3:27
Speaker 1: tell him he doesn't get to play in the All
3:29
Speaker 1: Stars Yeah, because your schedule change.
3:31
Speaker 4: Yes, I feel like that's crushing the kid's spirit.
3:34
Speaker 3: And maybe the first kid, obviously he was crushed that
3:37
Speaker 3: he couldn't but like he knew the rules from jump right,
3:40
Speaker 3: like it was this is the expectation, and it's like, oh, man,
3:44
Speaker 3: can't do it. The second kid gets this like oh
3:48
Speaker 3: I get to go, and then you go back and
3:50
Speaker 3: be like manah, just kidding.
3:51
Speaker 4: Because first choice over here is available.
3:53
Speaker 3: I think that's so rude And maybe I would feel
3:56
Speaker 3: differently if they were adults who were playing, like it
3:59
Speaker 3: was an adults.
4:00
Speaker 4: Softball league or something.
4:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, but because it's eight year olds and under, I
4:06
Speaker 3: think you just have to go with the second one.
4:08
Speaker 3: The second kid, What did your friend do something?
4:11
Speaker 2: I wouldn't call it my friend. I just know him.
4:13
Speaker 4: Okay.
4:16
Speaker 1: The reason I put it that way is because of
4:19
Speaker 1: course he called the first kid and went with the
4:21
Speaker 1: first kid instead of the second kid. O.
4:24
Speaker 5: Wow.
4:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough growing up in Little league.
4:26
Speaker 6: You know.
4:27
Speaker 1: I was very lucky and I got to play in
4:28
Speaker 1: some All Star games and whatnot. But I have seen
4:31
Speaker 1: this happen where kids parents say their kid can't make it, yeah,
4:35
Speaker 1: and then it turns out that they can make it,
4:38
Speaker 1: and it just kind of is what it is.
4:41
Speaker 3: It makes me sad, especially because the All Star Game,
4:44
Speaker 3: like it doesn't.
4:45
Speaker 2: Even really matter who cares.
4:48
Speaker 3: So why did you have to dash this boy's dreams?
4:51
Speaker 3: That makes me sad. I'm glad that you don't consider
4:55
Speaker 3: this manner.
4:56
Speaker 2: You now have permission to hate this guy. Yeah, I
4:58
Speaker 2: think ninety eight point seven.
5:03
Speaker 6: Celebrating life's little victories victory every morning we practice gratitude
5:08
Speaker 6: on Big ninety eight point seven.
5:10
Speaker 2: If I could, I would keep this feeling in a
5:12
Speaker 2: basket joint busted out when it was someone's acting.
5:15
Speaker 6: Had I just really needed to win? You know? Sure
5:17
Speaker 6: your little victories with us at seven oh one two
5:20
Speaker 6: eight A one ninety eight seven.
5:23
Speaker 2: And Angie, do you have a little victory for us
5:25
Speaker 2: here today?
5:26
Speaker 3: An unexpected little victory that happened at like five point
5:29
Speaker 3: thirty this morning. So my birthday's coming up in a
5:32
Speaker 3: couple of weeks, and uh, Corey over on Bob she
5:37
Speaker 3: got me an early.
5:38
Speaker 4: Birthday gift, and when she handed it.
5:40
Speaker 3: To me, I was like, shut up no, because she
5:45
Speaker 3: encouraged me to watch this show on Prime called Off Campus.
5:49
Speaker 3: If you've seen it, you know it's like the best
5:51
Speaker 3: show anyway. In the show Off Campus, one of the characters,
5:55
Speaker 3: she's a cute girl who was throwing on a robe
5:58
Speaker 3: in one of the scenes, and I realized, because before
6:02
Speaker 3: my breast reduction, these skin pendulums were down to the floor,
6:07
Speaker 3: I could never wear a robe comfortably without like any
6:12
Speaker 3: support under because they would just be underwear.
6:15
Speaker 4: The where you tie the tie for the rope.
6:20
Speaker 2: Okay, that's quite a visual exactly.
6:24
Speaker 4: Now, you know. I got him reduced.
6:25
Speaker 3: And so I had mentioned to Corey like, oh my gosh,
6:29
Speaker 3: and she was wearing a robe, and I realized, I
6:31
Speaker 3: don't have a robe because I could never wear a robe.
6:34
Speaker 3: And sure enough, today she presented me with a very cute,
6:38
Speaker 3: like tropical floral, little satin robe for my.
6:43
Speaker 4: Birthday, and I'm so excited.
6:45
Speaker 3: I kind of wanted to wear it right now all
6:47
Speaker 3: day at work, but I won't because that's weird and inappropriate.
6:50
Speaker 2: You could wear it here and just give it an now,
6:54
Speaker 2: I don't want to.
6:54
Speaker 4: Give it a test drunk unless it's in.
6:56
Speaker 3: The true way I want to wear it, So I'll
6:59
Speaker 3: save that for home.
7:00
Speaker 4: But I'm super excited about it.
7:01
Speaker 3: And I was very sweet of her to remember about
7:05
Speaker 3: that and to give to me that for my birthday.
7:07
Speaker 3: So I'm very happy with my robe. What about you, Gate,
7:10
Speaker 3: It's great. I'm gonna have to go have a couple
7:11
Speaker 3: of words. I think with Corey over there.
7:13
Speaker 2: Well, it was my half birthday, not a month ago,
7:17
Speaker 2: and I got nothing. That's fair.
7:21
Speaker 1: My little victory actually comes in the form of cash. Oh,
7:25
Speaker 1: so I will pull up this email if you have
7:28
Speaker 1: Venmo and an Amazon account. Okay, Yesterday I randomly check
7:35
Speaker 1: my personal email, not my work email, because I really
7:38
Speaker 1: am terrified of being one of those people that has
7:40
Speaker 1: like seven thousand emails on.
7:42
Speaker 2: Their phone and they you don't want to be me. No,
7:45
Speaker 2: I do not want to go through the horror.
7:47
Speaker 1: So I constantly am deleting random nonsense emails from my phone.
7:54
Speaker 1: And I saw this email from Amazon and Venmo right,
7:58
Speaker 1: and they were.
7:59
Speaker 4: Like, did you worry that? Immediately I'm thinking scam.
8:03
Speaker 1: Instantly I'm like, oh yeah, what what what do I
8:06
Speaker 1: gotta buy now or whatever? No, it turns out I
8:09
Speaker 1: qualified for some class action lawsuit I guess that I
8:12
Speaker 1: didn't even know about. And Amazon gave me fifty bucks
8:17
Speaker 1: what they gave me fit well fifty one and some
8:19
Speaker 1: change back because they were charging me these like hidden
8:23
Speaker 1: fees or whatever that I didn't agree to, didn't sign
8:25
Speaker 1: up for. And I got fifty dollars back from Amazon yesterday.
8:29
Speaker 4: That is so jump. Let me check my email. I
8:32
Speaker 4: know I'd be getting charged weird things.
8:34
Speaker 2: I have no clue.
8:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, which that qualified for a nice little basically
8:38
Speaker 1: free breakfast sandwich.
8:39
Speaker 2: Had my golf round on Friday, So.
8:41
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that's amazing.
8:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, so your little victory is actually really great if.
8:47
Speaker 1: That is where else you randomly found forty bucks in
8:50
Speaker 1: your pocket, if you have Amazon and a Venmo account,
8:54
Speaker 1: I don't know if you have to have Venmo, I
8:55
Speaker 1: don't really know if that's part of it. I didn't
8:57
Speaker 1: dive too deep out into you.
8:59
Speaker 4: I got fifty bucks.
9:00
Speaker 2: I don't care the fifty.
9:01
Speaker 1: Dollars, right, But if you have Amazon and or a Venmo,
9:04
Speaker 1: check your emails or check your Venmo account to day.
9:07
Speaker 1: It's possible that you could have been being charged for
9:10
Speaker 1: stuff that you didn't agree to or didn't sign up for,
9:13
Speaker 1: and there might be fifty one bucks in there.
9:15
Speaker 2: So that's so great money sick.
9:17
Speaker 4: Actually, yeah, a great way to start the day.
9:20
Speaker 2: Victory. Yeah.
9:27
Speaker 1: Summer is in full swing on the calendar and just
9:31
Speaker 1: in our hearts. Yes, And one of the things that
9:33
Speaker 1: you kind of learn as you grow older and you
9:36
Speaker 1: miss about being a kid. Is there's really no such
9:38
Speaker 1: thing as summer break. Now obviously if you're a teacher,
9:41
Speaker 1: that's a little bit different. Or if you, I don't know,
9:45
Speaker 1: only do some type of construction in the summer and
9:47
Speaker 1: then maybe in the winter you go do something else.
9:49
Speaker 2: Those things can happen. But you know, I don't got
9:51
Speaker 2: three months off and for a long, long long time.
9:57
Speaker 1: But there were some jobs that I did have during summer.
10:00
Speaker 1: Looking back on it, going, man, that was fun.
10:03
Speaker 3: What was your favorite summer job. I'm not someone who
10:05
Speaker 3: had summer jobs. I didn't start working until I became
10:09
Speaker 3: an adult and like had to work.
10:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, seven oh one, two, eight zero one, nine, eight seven.
10:14
Speaker 1: Did you have a summer job growing up that you
10:16
Speaker 1: absolutely loved it for whatever reason? I mean, it's incredible
10:20
Speaker 1: the things we really enjoyed when we were fifteen, sixteen,
10:25
Speaker 1: seventeen years old.
10:26
Speaker 2: There were two that I had. One I was seventeen
10:29
Speaker 2: and I worked at the pool. Oh that's great. At
10:32
Speaker 2: the crystal pool. That was awesome.
10:35
Speaker 1: Because hey, you're just in the sun, hanging out of
10:38
Speaker 1: the pool all day, like yeah, and you're getting paid
10:40
Speaker 1: for it.
10:40
Speaker 2: It was great. Your friends would show up. You know,
10:42
Speaker 2: you get to flirt with the hot easy, you know
10:44
Speaker 2: what I mean. It was a good time.
10:45
Speaker 1: But I had this job that to this day I
10:49
Speaker 1: think made me the man I am today, Angie, And
10:53
Speaker 1: you're gonna.
10:53
Speaker 3: Go to know what profession has me stuck with this version.
10:58
Speaker 1: Of you, You're gonna go back. I wish I didn't
11:00
Speaker 1: have that job. What I was an umpire for girls' softball.
11:06
Speaker 1: My sister played in one of the biggest softball leagues
11:09
Speaker 1: in the entire state, Golden Valley Girls Softball. She's actually
11:13
Speaker 1: on the cover of a book written about to Golden
11:16
Speaker 1: Valley Girls Softball.
11:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty cool. She's so much cooler, way cooler.
11:20
Speaker 1: But she played in this league and we were just
11:23
Speaker 1: family friends with the lady who ran the umpire crew.
11:28
Speaker 2: Yeah.
11:28
Speaker 1: So when I turned sixteen, seventeen, eighteen years old in
11:31
Speaker 1: the summer, when I first started, I would be kind
11:33
Speaker 1: of with the younger kids. You know, it'd be girls
11:35
Speaker 1: second grade to sixth grade or something like that, second
11:38
Speaker 1: to fifth grade. And then as I you know, did
11:41
Speaker 1: this a little bit longer and more, I started getting
11:44
Speaker 1: to do the older kids. Well, funny enough, the older
11:45
Speaker 1: kids are eighth grade to like seniors in high school.
11:49
Speaker 1: So I just knew half of them because I was
11:51
Speaker 1: in school with a chunk of them. And let me
11:53
Speaker 1: tell you, I have never learned more about how important
11:58
Speaker 1: it is to hustle, to work hard, and when you
12:02
Speaker 1: are going to make a close call in softball, you
12:05
Speaker 1: say that ish with your entire chest and you sell
12:09
Speaker 1: it whether you are right or wrong. Now, I was
12:13
Speaker 1: lucky because there were a lot of fans. You know,
12:14
Speaker 1: you know how kids sports are, parents go insane and
12:17
Speaker 1: they think their kid is going to go pitch for
12:19
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Twins tomorrow. But I never really got yelled
12:24
Speaker 1: at that much. I think I would like to hope
12:26
Speaker 1: was because I hustled. I understand why parents could get
12:29
Speaker 1: mad at the ump who would just sit behind the
12:32
Speaker 1: plate and not really move and you know, couldn't really
12:34
Speaker 1: see anything. But I would run to basically every play,
12:39
Speaker 1: every call I made, as close as I could get
12:41
Speaker 1: to the play, so I.
12:42
Speaker 2: Had a good view of it, Okay.
12:44
Speaker 1: So it was very nice to have the parents give
12:47
Speaker 1: me the feedback of that growing up, like oh, we
12:49
Speaker 1: love when you're here, Like we don't know if you
12:50
Speaker 1: get every call right or not.
12:51
Speaker 2: But at least you're trying to get there and see it.
12:54
Speaker 1: And so I learned, I think pretty early, how important
12:57
Speaker 1: it was to hustle and to be in the right
13:00
Speaker 1: spot and to work very very hard basically so you
13:04
Speaker 1: just don't get yelled at by a bunch of Karen's
13:05
Speaker 1: and Tom sitting behind the bench.
13:07
Speaker 4: Well then this correct.
13:09
Speaker 3: This definitely shaped who you are and who I work with.
13:12
Speaker 4: But I like it.
13:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, it did help out I think in the long
13:15
Speaker 1: run for sure, not only the parents who would get
13:17
Speaker 1: mad at me, but the ones who are very kind
13:19
Speaker 1: and super nice, and it was what's that you're supposed
13:22
Speaker 1: to do with your dog? Positive reinforcement? Yeah, they liked
13:25
Speaker 1: that I ran and tried to be in the right
13:27
Speaker 1: spot for that. So that was a big thing for
13:29
Speaker 1: me growing up.
13:30
Speaker 2: Angela. Did you have a favorite summer job?
13:32
Speaker 5: I worked at an ice cream shop when I was sixteen,
13:34
Speaker 5: So it was free ice cream summer nights and just
13:38
Speaker 5: zero real responsibility bill like I was getting paid to
13:42
Speaker 5: hang out with my friend.
13:43
Speaker 2: That part, the non responsibilities a part, Yeah that's so funny.
13:46
Speaker 4: Is my man Mikey.
13:48
Speaker 3: He has a very storied history as an educator. He's
13:52
Speaker 3: a gifted and talented specialist. He's inspired so many students.
13:57
Speaker 3: He used to write curriculum for the buzz Aldrin Foundation.
14:00
Speaker 3: He has a student, a former student who's about to
14:03
Speaker 3: start a job at NASA and like reached out to
14:07
Speaker 3: Mikey to be like, it's because of the impact that
14:09
Speaker 3: you made on me when we were doing all.
14:10
Speaker 4: The science things in school.
14:12
Speaker 3: All that to say, Mikey's favorite job of all time
14:15
Speaker 3: was working at the golf course in.
14:16
Speaker 2: The summer, not the impact on his life.
14:20
Speaker 4: I like changing where the hole is for.
14:22
Speaker 2: The golf bar.
14:24
Speaker 1: We did have Steph who said working at the Breckinridge
14:28
Speaker 1: hearties and then I had asked her.
14:29
Speaker 2: I was like, what did you like so much about it?
14:31
Speaker 1: She said, I was sixteen and our crew got away
14:34
Speaker 1: with so much.
14:35
Speaker 2: It was the.
14:35
Speaker 1: Nineties, yes, and then answering the DT. I don't know
14:40
Speaker 1: if that would be the drive the draft there, Yes,
14:42
Speaker 1: answering the drive through after sucking the helium tank. I'm
14:46
Speaker 1: sure that was just a blast when you were sixteen
14:48
Speaker 1: years old.
14:48
Speaker 4: That is Steph, let's be best friends.
14:52
Speaker 1: We also had someone who said I did two summers
14:54
Speaker 1: working at Medora I believe, which sounds awesome.
14:57
Speaker 3: Yes, like where Madora did you do the mador A musical?
15:00
Speaker 3: That's what I want to be a part of it. Yeah,
15:03
Speaker 3: and then we actually do have Andy on the phone. Andy,
15:05
Speaker 3: what about you man?
15:06
Speaker 7: I worked at a butcher shop and I did not
15:10
Speaker 7: like the way I smelled after work. But you know,
15:12
Speaker 7: it was the kind of job that you can just
15:14
Speaker 7: do and have everyone leave you alone. It's good work
15:17
Speaker 7: and you can leave it there when you're done.
15:19
Speaker 2: That is kind of true if you for the smell. Yeah,
15:22
Speaker 2: definitely the smell.
15:23
Speaker 1: If you can do a job that is I do
15:25
Speaker 1: like that about work sometimes, where it's you know what
15:27
Speaker 1: you have to do, You go in there, you just
15:29
Speaker 1: do it. There's no one who has to tell you
15:30
Speaker 1: how to do it. There's no one's got to look
15:31
Speaker 1: over your shoulder all day. That is kind of nice.
15:33
Speaker 4: That's what's fun about working. My sister always loved working
15:36
Speaker 4: in a stock room because she.
15:38
Speaker 3: Was like, I just go on autopilot and then when
15:40
Speaker 3: I leave, I never think of what was she going
15:41
Speaker 3: to be thinking about?
15:42
Speaker 4: Box.
15:42
Speaker 2: It's like, this is am I the problem?
15:49
Speaker 4: It's me, Hi the problem, it's me.
15:54
Speaker 2: We'll hear one side of the story and with your.
15:56
Speaker 6: Help decide if it's right or if maybe you're the problem.
16:02
Speaker 6: That's right, I am the problem on Big ninety eight
16:05
Speaker 6: point seven.
16:07
Speaker 3: What I always love about am I the problem is
16:09
Speaker 3: that we have you to chime in with your words
16:11
Speaker 3: of wisdom, your advice, because Gabe and I are barely
16:15
Speaker 3: qualified for such things. But then comes along and am
16:20
Speaker 3: I the problem? Where I feel especially grateful for you
16:24
Speaker 3: because Gabe was back you all, not you, because Gabe
16:28
Speaker 3: and I really might not be qualified for this one.
16:32
Speaker 4: Here goes.
16:33
Speaker 3: This is from Tara hi An Jane Gabe. This isn't
16:36
Speaker 3: exactly an am I the problem, but I need advice
16:40
Speaker 3: and just sent this anyway.
16:41
Speaker 4: I'm working my first job out of college.
16:44
Speaker 3: I got a marketing degree at n DSU, and I
16:47
Speaker 3: like it fine enough in that it's a job that
16:49
Speaker 3: pays the bills. And I'm actually very efficient at this job.
16:53
Speaker 3: My bosses have noticed and say I'm better than my coworkers.
16:56
Speaker 3: Not in those exact words, but you get it. However,
17:00
Speaker 3: as a result of my high efficiency, they throw way
17:03
Speaker 3: more work my way than to anyone else on staff.
17:07
Speaker 3: What they're not throwing at me is more money. I
17:11
Speaker 3: have been here less than a year, But I feel
17:13
Speaker 3: like I'm entitled to a raise or a promotion that
17:16
Speaker 3: comes with more money something. Should I ask about this
17:20
Speaker 3: or look for a similar job that maybe pays more.
17:24
Speaker 3: But my parents say I shouldn't be jumping from job
17:27
Speaker 3: to job in this economy. I haven't been in the
17:30
Speaker 3: workforce in general very long, so I'm not sure what
17:33
Speaker 3: makes sense and what doesn't. Thanks in advance, Tara.
17:37
Speaker 2: There is a lot to unpack in that, I think, Yeah,
17:40
Speaker 2: there really is.
17:41
Speaker 3: I will say, for an industry like ours, Gabe, I
17:44
Speaker 3: feel like you find your place in radio and you
17:48
Speaker 3: try to stay there for as long as humanly possible.
17:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, as long as they'll have you.
17:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, as long as they'll have you. I feel like
17:55
Speaker 4: she's got a marketing degree.
17:57
Speaker 3: If it were me, I think that he's in a
18:00
Speaker 3: position where she could jump to a different job if
18:03
Speaker 3: it paid better.
18:05
Speaker 4: I would say.
18:05
Speaker 3: Ask for a raise or even a promotion. But the
18:08
Speaker 3: fact that she's only been there for less than a year,
18:12
Speaker 3: and because she's a woman, I feel like I get
18:16
Speaker 3: worried that if Tara asks for that, that it will
18:20
Speaker 3: be taken some sort of way, like negatively, you.
18:24
Speaker 4: Know what I mean.
18:25
Speaker 3: So I would say, maybe find a different job. And
18:29
Speaker 3: I get that the economy is a roof, but I
18:33
Speaker 3: think things aren't like how they were back in the day,
18:36
Speaker 3: where like you start a job and then you can
18:40
Speaker 3: work your way up the ranks and blah blah. Like
18:42
Speaker 3: I just feel like it's not necessarily that way anymore.
18:45
Speaker 3: I feel like the gen Z way to do it
18:49
Speaker 3: is to jump from job job if you can make
18:54
Speaker 3: more money.
18:55
Speaker 4: Does that make sense? I think, what do you think?
18:59
Speaker 3: Seven two eight h one nine eight seven. And we
19:03
Speaker 3: also have this up on the Big ninety eight point
19:05
Speaker 3: seven Facebook page because I want Tara to get more
19:08
Speaker 3: money if she's the one who's being the best at
19:10
Speaker 3: the job.
19:12
Speaker 4: I think the worst thing you can do is be
19:13
Speaker 4: really great at your job.
19:15
Speaker 1: Actually there is I think there's a lot to unpack there,
19:19
Speaker 1: and I don't know a ton about what goes along
19:21
Speaker 1: with that job, which is why someone listening will offer
19:25
Speaker 1: I'm sure wise words of wisdom. Yeah, here's where I
19:29
Speaker 1: sound like an old man yelling at a cloud. Okay,
19:32
Speaker 1: you have not been there for a year, right, your
19:36
Speaker 1: first year in your adult job? You are I just
19:40
Speaker 1: feel like you weren't prepared for life all the way
19:42
Speaker 1: you are going to get the tar beaten out of
19:45
Speaker 1: you your first big kid job.
19:48
Speaker 2: That first year. It is supposed to be hard.
19:50
Speaker 1: It is designed to test you and make sure that
19:54
Speaker 1: you can efficiently do all of these things so that
19:58
Speaker 1: when it does come raised, people know you really deserve it.
20:01
Speaker 1: I know there's like two sides of a problem here.
20:04
Speaker 1: Young kids don't get paid enough, but they also think
20:06
Speaker 1: they should get paid at gajillion dollars for not having
20:09
Speaker 1: any experience in life. So there's a middle ground there.
20:13
Speaker 1: So I think you've been there. What did she say,
20:15
Speaker 1: nine months?
20:16
Speaker 4: Well, she said less than a year, less.
20:17
Speaker 2: Than a year. I think you hack it out till
20:20
Speaker 2: a year.
20:21
Speaker 1: I don't know if employers care as much nowadays when
20:24
Speaker 1: people job hop, but I know at one point it
20:27
Speaker 1: was like they don't. I don't think employers love knowing,
20:29
Speaker 1: Oh you've done this job, this job, this job, this job,
20:32
Speaker 1: this job. Why are you constantly leaving jobs?
20:35
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah.
20:36
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's like that anymore.
20:37
Speaker 3: I guess I didn't think about that, But I also
20:40
Speaker 3: am not a real person right in the workforce.
20:43
Speaker 1: I just I think you got to do something for
20:45
Speaker 1: a year before you really think you, I don't know,
20:48
Speaker 1: should expect to be compensated more, you know what I mean?
20:52
Speaker 3: I will say this, Okay, so waiting for the year,
20:54
Speaker 3: that's because I the fact that she was there for
20:56
Speaker 3: less than a year, that is what makes me think, like,
20:58
Speaker 3: don't bring it up now. Yeah ah right, but I
21:01
Speaker 3: think absolutely, like keep a paper trail of all your
21:06
Speaker 3: contribution so that when you make your case for the raise,
21:09
Speaker 3: but then also not obviously on the company uh well
21:14
Speaker 3: maybe on the company dime, but at least not the
21:16
Speaker 3: company computer.
21:17
Speaker 4: Keep your options.
21:18
Speaker 3: Open, you know what I mean, Like you can just
21:21
Speaker 3: like job hunt on the side while you're biding your time.
21:26
Speaker 3: I feel like you have to put yourself first, but
21:30
Speaker 3: you got to do be smart about it.
21:32
Speaker 1: And also like just be like this saying is super corny,
21:35
Speaker 1: but it can be true. Just because there are other
21:37
Speaker 1: jobs out there does not mean that they will A
21:40
Speaker 1: be any different, because every single job has its thing
21:42
Speaker 1: that you yeah and B doesn't necessarily.
21:46
Speaker 2: Mean they're going to pay you more and then you're
21:48
Speaker 2: just back to square one.
21:49
Speaker 1: Anyway, there is a middle ground somewhere between you know,
21:53
Speaker 1: young kids who want to earn enough money to live
21:55
Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, they deserve to get paid, to be
21:57
Speaker 1: able to get groceries, pay their rent, and live a regular,
22:02
Speaker 1: normal life. But just because you graduated college and have
22:05
Speaker 1: never had a job, like no, you're probably not gonna
22:07
Speaker 1: come out at twenty one years old or twenty two
22:09
Speaker 1: years old and be making two hundred grand a year.
22:12
Speaker 1: There's definitely a middle ground somewhere, and I think in
22:16
Speaker 1: a weird way, it just sounds like Tara's kind of
22:18
Speaker 1: getting her first taste of adult life. This is what
22:21
Speaker 1: the rest of your life is, so just get used
22:23
Speaker 1: to it in a sense of you're always gonna want
22:25
Speaker 1: to make more money always, or just start doing really
22:29
Speaker 1: crappy on the projects you're doing, they might ask you
22:32
Speaker 1: to do them less seven oh one two eight zero
22:34
Speaker 1: one nine eight seven. What advice would you give to
22:38
Speaker 1: Tara this morning on the problem Today's Variety Big ninety
22:47
Speaker 1: eight point seven.
22:48
Speaker 2: Who's this?
22:49
Speaker 8: This is Karen Okay. I am sixty one years old
22:53
Speaker 8: and over half of my life I've worked in a
22:54
Speaker 8: male dominated field. If she does not advocate for herself,
22:58
Speaker 8: no one else will. She needs to get in there.
23:01
Speaker 8: She needs to have it in writing and get in
23:03
Speaker 8: front of whoever she needs to her boss or whatever,
23:06
Speaker 8: and do it now so when her one year comes up,
23:10
Speaker 8: they can't say, oh, well, let us think about it,
23:13
Speaker 8: give us six months. This way, she has presented the
23:17
Speaker 8: information to them now and they can think about it
23:21
Speaker 8: and have an answer for her at her one year,
23:24
Speaker 8: and then she'll know where she stands with her company.
23:27
Speaker 2: That is one thousand fantastic advice.
23:30
Speaker 3: I trust Karen with my life and I need her
23:32
Speaker 3: on retainer.
23:33
Speaker 1: Start getting the idea turning in their head, or at
23:37
Speaker 1: least make it a thought now so that when you
23:39
Speaker 1: do reach that year, you know you could actually maybe
23:42
Speaker 1: do a sit down discussion about it and why you
23:44
Speaker 1: would think you deserve to either be paid a little
23:46
Speaker 1: more or some kind of promotion or something.
23:48
Speaker 2: That's really good advice.
23:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks like everyone on Facebook is basically in
23:54
Speaker 3: this like on Team Karen's advice, except for their telling
23:58
Speaker 3: her to wait until they if your job does yearly reviews.
24:02
Speaker 3: This is from Sarah. I'd wait it out and bring
24:04
Speaker 3: it up for discussion at that time. The grass is
24:06
Speaker 3: not always green. On the other side, appreciate the fact
24:09
Speaker 3: that they appreciate you and trust you with multiple jobs.
24:13
Speaker 3: No one is saying to jump from the job yet though,
24:16
Speaker 3: and so Tara like, maybe don't look for another job.
24:20
Speaker 3: Maybe just make sure to make your case at this.
24:23
Speaker 1: One unless you can stay afloat for six months or
24:26
Speaker 1: something without a paycheck. Yeah, leave a job until you
24:28
Speaker 1: have to second another one. Yep, that's exactly right. And
24:32
Speaker 1: you can chime in all day on Facebook. I have
24:34
Speaker 1: a lot of fun going back later on in the
24:36
Speaker 1: day when I'm at home checking out all of the
24:37
Speaker 1: updated comments and things like that.
24:39
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie.
24:40
Speaker 3: Big ninety eight point seven has the best comments section.
24:45
Speaker 2: It's wonderful.
24:46
Speaker 1: So chime in on Facebook or at seven oh one

24:59
Speaker 1: taking flavored straight to the dog park. He teamed up
25:03
Speaker 1: with Bark and his dogs Smoky and Cash to launch
25:06
Speaker 1: a new dog toy collection inspired by his food empire,
25:11
Speaker 1: and this line includes playful toys and treats, of course
25:14
Speaker 1: tested by his dogs, which I'm sure was a terrible job.
25:18
Speaker 1: It's now available through bark Box and online. I have
25:22
Speaker 1: never created toys or a treat line for my dog Winona,
25:28
Speaker 1: but I would argue she's up there as one of
25:30
Speaker 1: the most spoiled dogs on planet Earth.
25:33
Speaker 3: How do you spoil your pets? Text us call us
25:36
Speaker 3: seven oh one two eight h one nine eight seven.
25:39
Speaker 4: We put this up on a big ninety eight.
25:41
Speaker 3: Point seven Facebook page. Terreen's answer is giving me life.
25:46
Speaker 3: She said, uh, literally, my entire life is built around
25:49
Speaker 3: these idiots.
25:50
Speaker 4: We believe.
25:53
Speaker 3: We plan vacation around dog sports, which are their favorite
25:57
Speaker 3: things to do, chiropractic care and acupuncture for maintenance because
26:02
Speaker 3: of the love of sports. They both have goggles to
26:05
Speaker 3: wear in the car to protect their eyeballs from dirt,
26:07
Speaker 3: dust and bugs, bougie artisanal treats, and high quality kibble
26:12
Speaker 3: plus rod diet.
26:14
Speaker 4: I want to be Terren's dog.

Speaker 3: They are living a life that I could.
26:21
Speaker 4: Only dream of.
26:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, for all they know, they're the most pampered things
26:24
Speaker 2: on Earth.
26:25
Speaker 4: One What do you do to spoil Winona?
26:28
Speaker 2: So I asked Corey this question, and I said, hey,
26:31
Speaker 2: can you tell me what do you think we do
26:32
Speaker 2: that spoils Winona the most? And her and I have
26:34
Speaker 2: two different answers, but she said, well, we do spend
26:38
Speaker 2: a good chunk of our paychecks to make sure she
26:40
Speaker 2: has the best food, treats, toys, and stuff to make
26:43
Speaker 2: her comfortable, which is so true. And then I said,
26:48
Speaker 2: I would say, it's like moving our schedule around the dog. Yeah,
26:53
Speaker 2: So can someone do this at two? I can't.
26:56
Speaker 1: I got to pick up my dog. Can someone do
26:58

27:29
Speaker 2: Hopathetic is what it is.
27:30
Speaker 4: It's great.
27:31
Speaker 3: I could be like, don't get a dog if you're
27:33
Speaker 3: not gonna spoil your dog.
27:35
Speaker 1: For example, I have a friend coming to visit this
27:38
Speaker 1: weekend and we are going to go golfing on Friday. Well,
27:42
Speaker 1: the time we are going golfing is designated around so
27:47
Speaker 1: my dog has a normal schedule that day and is
27:50
Speaker 1: only home with the cats alone for the same amount
27:54
Speaker 1: of time as she would be had it would be
27:56

30:49
Speaker 3: So I'm like scouring all of the things for prime days.
30:54
Speaker 3: But Amazon keeps trying to push something on me that
30:58
Speaker 3: bro I do not believe in this. It has its function,
31:04
Speaker 3: but no, it is not fashion. I do not believe
31:08
Speaker 3: in overalls as a fashion item. Okay, wow, I hate
31:14
Speaker 3: it so much. You know what, they serve their purpose,
31:18
Speaker 3: especially you know, you're painting, or you have home renovations, or.
31:22
Speaker 4: You're working on the farm.
31:23
Speaker 3: Like, overalls make sense where they make sense, But please
31:27
Speaker 3: stop trying to push overalls to me as some sort
31:30
Speaker 3: of fashion choice.
31:31
Speaker 4: I hate it. I don't like it. It makes me mad.
31:34
Speaker 3: Oh the only other people wearing overalls when you're pregnant.
31:38
Speaker 3: That's also fine. That makes sense when like if Corey,
31:42
Speaker 3: if your wife rolled up and she was wearing overalls,
31:44
Speaker 3: I'd be like, absolutely nine months pregnant, absolutely wear those overalls.
31:48
Speaker 4: They're very freeing.
31:49
Speaker 3: It's like good but for fashion. And I think, like,
31:54
Speaker 3: you know how Amazon, your phone be listening right, your
31:58
Speaker 3: phone is listening to everything, and like they're not listening correctly.
32:01
Speaker 4: I don't know if.
32:02
Speaker 3: I'm positioning the phone wrong or something, because they're just
32:06
Speaker 3: hearing overalls. Oh she wants overalls, and it's like, no, no, no,
32:09
Speaker 3: I do not want over No overall's phone, no overalls.
32:13
Speaker 3: And every time I open the app, overalls, different overalls,
32:19
Speaker 3: not even the same ones, pop up as a fashion item.
32:23
Speaker 3: And no, you're not, You're not a fashion item.
32:25
